Politics and change in the Middle East

Roy R. Andersen, Robert F Seibert, Jon G. Wagner, Robert F. Seibert, Roy Andersen, Robert F. Siebert

Thoroughly revised and updated to keep pace with recent events, this introductory survey of the Middle East explains in depth the special and enduring role of Islam and presents a historical overview of the region. The authors examine contemporary issues on a thematic basis (not country by country) and offer an interdisciplinary social science perspective, choosing to focus on the interplay between economic, political, and cultural influences.
